The Great Jin Dynasty.

Under the jurisdiction of the Imperial City Guard, there is a dark, damp, and deep canyon filled with poisonous miasma.

Below the canyon, hundreds of iron chains, as thick as a bowl, are driven into the mountainside, connecting the two sides of the canyon.

Perched atop a sheer cliff, a black building embedded in the mountainside exudes a somber aura.

This is the infamous Imperial City Death Prison.

Those imprisoned here are all heinous criminals who have committed serious crimes.

Today, the death row welcomed a new batch of prisoners.

At the same time, a new batch of prison guards also arrived.

"I've been officially hired!"

Among the prison guards, a young man suddenly froze.

His eyes were glistening with tears, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Ye Kang felt a mix of emotions.

He has just traveled through time.

In his past life, he was devoted to serving his country, but he had no way to do so. He failed all the civil service exams after ten years.

Finally, after failing the civil service exam for the tenth time, he suffered a stroke and died.

Unexpectedly, his soul traveled to this continent and became one of the thousands of transmigrators.

The original owner of this body was also named Ye Kang. He was originally an ordinary street patrol officer, and a contract worker with a monthly salary of only two coins.

However, by a stroke of luck, he was noticed by the Imperial City Guard and temporarily transferred to the Death Prison as a jailer.

Ye Kang spent some time integrating the memories.

The current situation has also been clarified.

Street patrol officers are contract workers, but prison guards are different; they are genuine royal employees!

Not only do they enjoy the same benefits as the Imperial City Guard for life, but they also receive a monthly salary of two taels of silver!

It increased tenfold!

In my past life, I fought tooth and nail for a memorized document, but now I have it all after transmigrating!

Thank God!

Ye Kang was overjoyed, and the clerk leading the way suddenly turned around.

"Shut up! This is a death row inmate. Anyone who makes a sound here will face my ruthless blade!"

The bailiff gripped the hilt of his knife with his left hand, his face contorted with malice.

Ye Kang realized that he had lost his composure because he was too happy, so he immediately shut up.

We finally got this position, and we absolutely can't afford any mishaps this time.

The bailiff glared at him fiercely and then turned his head away.

"Let me remind you all again, some of you come from the Imperial Guard, some from the Xuanwei Battalion, but no matter what your previous status or duties were, once you arrive in the death row, you must start as jailers. Put away your tempers as soon as possible!"

As soon as the clerk spoke, the crowd behind him immediately agreed.

Some of the clever ones have already distanced themselves from Ye Kang.

This person offended the clerk as soon as he arrived; he doesn't understand reason, so don't associate with him.

Seeing this, Ye Kang felt a warm feeling in his heart.

That's it!

Here comes the wonderful knitting life!

The group followed the bailiff into the death row, completed the handover, changed into prison guard uniforms, and slung a long steel sword over their waists, thus officially joining the ranks.

Ye Kang weighed the longsword in his hand; it was considerably heavier than the sword he had been given during his previous street patrols.

Sure enough, the knives used by the contract workers were all of inferior quality.

It has to be a formal position!

Just as Ye Kang was filled with emotion, the warden, who was assigning tasks, suddenly looked at Ye Kang.

"Xu Wenliang! Ye Kang!"

"To!"

The warden pondered for a moment and then tossed over two bronze plaques.

"Both of you were originally street patrol officers, carrying patrol orders and responsible for inspecting the yellow-level prison cells."

Ye Kang accepted the bronze medal and quickly agreed.

The Great Jin Dynasty was similar to ancient times in the previous life, emphasizing strict obedience to orders. Without further ado, the two began their inspection immediately.

The death row is divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, with prisoners being held in different levels according to their threat level.

In this world, martial arts flourish, and half of the criminals are skilled in martial arts.

Of course, the monster imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison has nothing to do with Ye Kang, a newcomer, so he is not worried.

Even so, most of the prisoners in the Yellow-level prisons are quite powerful.

Although those who knew martial arts had their collarbones pierced, the warden still strictly prohibited any prison guards from talking to prisoners in order to prevent accidents.

The patrol lasted until midnight.

Feeling bored, Ye Kangxian wanted to have a chat with Xu Wenliang, who was standing next to him.

The other party, however, had a cold expression and walked away without waiting for Ye Kang to speak, going to inspect other areas.

Ye Kang was met with a cold shoulder, but he wasn't annoyed.

As long as you have a government job, everything else is irrelevant.

But this scene was witnessed by someone with ulterior motives.

In a nearby cell, a burly monk was playing with the shackles on his feet, a half-smile on his face.

"Sir, it's no use, he won't talk to you."

Ye Kang frowned and looked over, then kicked the cell door.

"What's it to you? Go to sleep!"

The senior monk wasn't annoyed; he just laughed heartily.

"Are you smiling too much?"

Ye Kang frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

The senior monk shook his head.

“I laugh at you, sir, for you are facing death without even realizing it. How pitiful!”

The senior monk groaned and sighed as he turned over to sleep on his side.

This infuriated Ye Kang.

I was cursed to die on my very first day in office. I've lived two lifetimes to finally get this government job, do you know how hard it was for me?

Just as he was about to start cursing, a strange sound suddenly came to his mind.

【Ding】

[Congratulations, host, on binding the Heaven-Defying Comprehension System. You are rewarded with 500 Comprehension Points.]

[Host's current cultivation level: Unranked]

[Mission issued: Resolve tomorrow's prison break crisis]

...

With a buzzing sound, Ye Kang's mind instantly cleared.

Sure enough, the system benefits have arrived!

But as soon as I arrived, I was given a huge task!

Prison robbery?

Ye Kang wasn't stupid; the tasks issued by the system couldn't possibly be wrong, which meant there would definitely be a prison break tomorrow.

Combined with the monk's ramblings, Ye Kang's face turned pale.

Could it be that this government job is a hot potato...?

He immediately woke up the head monk and forced him to explain himself.

The senior monk didn't waste any words and explained the whole story.

It turns out that every year, several batches of new prison guards arrive at the death row, but without exception, they all die the next day, and all of them are killed because of prison breaks.

That's why the monk said Ye Kang was about to die.

Ye Kang immediately understood.

This is a complete conspiracy!

They brought in a group of new recruits and had them break into the prison. Since they were all newbies, they might as well die.

And the people they were trying to save…

Ye Kang thought of the prisoners who had come with him, and guessed it was because of them.

Ye Kang clenched his fists so tightly that his teeth were about to break.

Deceiving too much!

They used the government job offer as bait, while sacrificing themselves!

I was so happy, but the fabric I'd been so eagerly anticipating turned out to be a death sentence!

No!

In this life, no one can take away my position!

Thinking of the comprehension given by the system, Ye Kang asked himself a question.

"System, how do I use comprehension?"

[Ding! Consume Comprehension to automatically learn any martial art]

That's it!

Ye Kang looked into the cell.

"Big monk, what's your strength?"

Upon hearing this, the senior monk's face was filled with pride.

"I can be considered a true second-rate expert. If you release me, sir, none of those who come to break into the prison tomorrow will escape."

This was the fat monk's real purpose; he also wanted to use this opportunity to escape from prison.

"You think you can beat those prison breakers?"

Ye Kang looked at the monk with suspicion.

The latter snorted coldly.

"Why would I lie to you? Those new prisoners are just as low-class as you. The ones who come to rescue them are at most third-rate experts. I've cultivated a Vajra wrath, and I'll make sure they never leave alive!"

"great."

Ye Kang nodded.

The head monk was overjoyed, thinking that Ye Kang had been tricked.

As long as he releases me, I'll fight my way out. Who cares about breaking him out of prison?

However, Ye Kang did not let him go.

Instead, he walked directly to the rack of torture instruments, turned around, and gave a cold smile.
